The Curse
July 23, 2005
Things are looking slightly better now that we have underwear…or should I say smelling???
For those of you who have not caught the Curse Part 1, 2, and 3…we just got our luggage today, were denied our adoption yesterday, and have pretty much had a miserable trip…except that we have had a wonderful time visiting with our beautiful son.
The update on the court proceedings: We were able to get a hold of our doctors back at home and within twenty minutes they faxed a handwritten document detailing that they were able to provide medical judgments regarding our health in all areas including cardiology, psychological, etc. Here in Russia no one sees a general practitioner and our judge could not understand that. We also obtained a letter from our social worker outlining the process in the US. Additionally, we had my doctors medical license re- translated to read that she is licensed to prescribe medicine, not that she is an alcohol and drug doctor, as it originally read.
So, we go back to court on Monday at 10 am. for the judges final decree. With all of these documents in order, we believe that he does not have an opportunity to deny this. We believe that he was/is looking to make an example out of us given the current circumstances in the US.
Today we took AJ to get his passport picture and he had his first car ride. He learned to play in puddles and drink from a sippy cup. He loves the sippy and loves just having it in his mouth. We hope to get custody on Monday after court, but it may be Tuesday before we fly to Moscow.
We will be in a mad rush on Monday getting his birth certificate, his adoption decree, and his passport so that we can leave on Tuesday afternoon for Moscow. All in all, we need to get to Moscow to get to the embassy so we don’t miss our flight out on Friday. (We will make sure to pack all we need in our carry on, don’t worry!)
